Municipal Hall

Church and former convent from the 17th century. Beautiful interior courtyard and grounds. Tlalpan used to be called "San Agustín de las Cuevas".

Leafy park close to the zocalo. Shady walking paths and a modern children's playscape. Includes a nice Fondo de Cultura Económica book store and café.

A large uneven circular pyramid (known as Pirámide de Tenantongo) is the most significant structure at these ruins, which archaeologists say is the oldest settlement in central Mexico, having been settled around 1400 BC. The pyramid itself dates from 800 BC, which is when the first layer of the pyramid was constructed (upper layers were not completed until as late as 600 BC). The pyramid also has a sub-basement, which is open to the public. Two smaller temples have also been excavated as well as a building that was believed to have served local government functions. Cuicuilco thrived for a millennium, growing to a population of about 20,000 before it was destroyed between 245 and 315 AD by the eruption of the Xitle volcano, which buried the city under a layer of black volcanic rock. These lava stones were ultimately used to construct colonial era buildings in Tlalpan. Major excavations at the site occurred in the 1920s, 1960s, and 1990s. As of 2023, INAH is conducting further active excavations, though the site remains open to visitors daily. A small site museum displays some of the excavated relics from the site, mostly ceramics, but some human skeletons.

This is Mexico's foremost military academy, training army and air force officers. A separate academy in Veracruz trains naval officers.

Small community church dating back to the 17th century. Celebrates the feast day of the Virgin on December 8.

The original church was built by the Dominican missionaries in the 18th century. A new , very modern church was built next to it with a striking tent-like appearance. The older church is still used and has a number of noteworthy artworks, most striking of which is a painting depicting the death of St. Peter of Verona with an axe sticking out of his head. (Peter was murdered by a heretic in 1252.)
